Trump’s earliest supporter announces bid for Alabama Senate seat
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
FIRST ON FOX: Another House Republican has their eyes set on a Senate seat in the 2026 midterms.
Rep. Barry Moore, R-Ala., told Fox News Digital in an interview that he plans to run for Sen. Tommy Tuberville’s seat in the upper chamber.
Moore, who has represented the southern Alabama 1st congressional district since 2021, styled himself as a fiscal hawk with a longstanding history of supporting President Donald Trump. Indeed, he was the first elected official in the country to endorse Trump during his first run for office in 2015.

«I think my number one job is to protect the people’s liberty and to support the president in that process,» Moore said. «And so, for us, it’s an opportunity to continue to fight for the America First agenda, and also make sure we have conservatives in the Senate from Alabama that are truly the voice of the people.»
And one of his top concerns in Washington is the ever-increasing national debt, which has neared $37 trillion and counting, according to the Fox Business National Debt Tracker.
One of his top priorities when helping to craft Trump’s «big, beautiful bill» was to apply downward pressure on Congress’ spending habits to achieve roughly $1.5 trillion in spending cuts over the next decade.
«I think that we’ll have to hold the line on spending,» Moore said. «But again, this didn’t get this way overnight. You’re not going to fix it overnight. So you have to do it gradually.»

Moore, 58, is not alone in the race to replace Tuberville, who earlier this year announced that he would make a bid for the governor’s mansion after serving only one term in the upper chamber. He joins Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall and former Navy SEAL Jared Hudson in the Republican primary.
There are also a trio of candidates running on the Democratic side, including Kyle Sweetser, Dakarai Larriett and Mark Wheeler II.
And despite his conservative bona fides — he is a member of the House Freedom Caucus and touted his deeply conservative voting record — Moore believed that the number one issue in the Senate, and Congress in general, is the growing partisan divide.

He noted that when he came to Washington in 2021, he was disappointed that Republicans and Democrats didn’t work together more in the lower chamber under former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.
«I think most people in D.C. are principled,» he said. «They’re trying to do the right thing. There’s perfect, and that’s sometimes the enemy of practical. And so we try to make sure that even on the ‘big, beautiful bill,’ it wasn’t perfect. There were 435 versions of perfect in the House, but having principled people come to the table and say, ‘Let’s get a practical solution so we can get wins for this administration and for our country’ – I think that’s what we have to do in the Senate.»
«I don’t think we have to look at the opposing side as the enemy always,» he said. «And I think we have to keep in mind, too, that they represent areas, and they have a different experience in life.»

Still, despite his desire to create bipartisan inroads in the upper chamber, which is a must in most legislative fights, given the 60-vote filibuster threshold, Moore supports a change to Senate rules for confirmations to blast through Senate Democrats’ blockade of Trump’s nominees.
He’s in support of shortening the debate time on nominees, one of the options on the table for when lawmakers return from their August break, and argued that Democrats «are playing the obstructionist» despite Trump winning big in the 2024 election.
«The American people are fed up with that, so I say we change the rules and allow these nominees to get the jobs and start doing the job so they can help the president achieve his agenda,» he said.

‘No Kings’ calls itself leaderless, but its own internal documents tell a very different story
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
«No Kings,» a decentralized protest movement that crystallized in opposition to President Donald Trump’s second term, will hold thousands of events on Saturday morning, according to Sarah Parker, an organizer for one of the events in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
The protests mark the most recent development for the amorphous group, which has prompted similar events in the past.
«Tomorrow we’re going to have over 3,500 events across the country,» Parker said. «I think it’s important to be out in the streets at this moment in time to save our country. The events will be overwhelmingly peaceful, and there are going to be millions of Americans from different affiliations, different ages and different ethnic backgrounds coming together to be in community.»
Parker did not describe how «No Kings» works with local figures to organize events but said the protests aim to build on local displeasure with the administration.

«I think this is organic. This is a people-powered movement. We have different local hosts that are volunteers who have stepped up to host an event in their areas, even in rural areas. We have hundreds of events in rural and deep-red states,» Parker said.
Unlike other organized organizations, «No Kings» is not a non-profit, a business, or a formal organization, making its structure a mystery. Because of its lack of centralization, it has little to no financial reporting requirements and no easily identifiable leadership.
«No Kings» first burst onto the scene through «No Kings Day» in June 2025, an event that, in the words of their website, inspired «a nationwide uprising 14 times larger than both of Trump’s inaugurations combined.»
‘NO KINGS’ PROTESTERS FILMED HAVING CHILDREN BASH TRUMP PIÑATA
Almost a year later, the protests scheduled for Saturday hope to continue their opposition, touting opposition to Trump’s recent actions in Iran and debates over immigration enforcement.
«Masked secret police terrorizing our communities. An illegal, catastrophic war putting us in danger and driving up our costs. Attacks on our freedom of speech, our civil rights, our freedom to vote. Costs pushing families to the brink,» their website’s description reads.

Despite Parker’s framing of a decentralized movement, No Kings provides a highly-structured document for organizers titled «March 28 Toolkit,» instructing viewers on how to recruit their own speakers, delegate roles, register their event and use No Kings branded media materials. It also lays out best practices for logistics as well as how to avoid permitting and insurance requirements for event-holders.

Notably, the document also includes a «host hotline,» providing a number with a Maryland area code.
A map of events scheduled for Saturday shows organizational activity in the vast majority of urban centers across the country. Parker said that no one center will play a lead role, but that Minneapolis will act as a «flagship.»
Parker isn’t affiliated with No Kings directly. Instead, she described herself as a part of 50501 — another decentralized organization that partners with No Kings. She did not describe the nature of the partnership or how they interacted amid their similarly decentralized structures.

Asked what 50501 meant, Parker said the name originally stood for «50 states, 50 capitols, one day.»
It, too, is not registered as a non-profit or business.

When asked who should be listening to No Kings’ messaging, Parker said she believes its lawmakers that should pay attention.
«I think it’s for any elected official that is not listening to their constituents again. It should be a message for any, any elected officials, regardless of their political affiliation,» Parker said.

Zelenskyy offers cutting-edge drone defense to Gulf allies as Ukraine seeks missile support
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is turning battlefield innovation into bargaining power, offering Ukraine’s anti-drone systems to Middle Eastern allies, while seeking more air-defense support as the war with Russia drags into its fourth year.
Zelenskyy met Friday in Abu Dhabi with United Arab Emirates (UAE) President Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, and the two discussed an agreement by which Ukraine would provide its cutting-edge counter-drone technology in exchange for ballistic missile support and financial aid.
In a wide-ranging interview with Fox News after the meeting, Zelenskyy detailed how Ukraine’s battlefield innovations, namely its anti-Russian drone systems, are influencing defense partnerships worldwide.
ZELENSKYY ANNOUNCES NEXT ROUND OF TALKS WITH US, RUSSIA AS UKRAINE AIMS FOR ‘REAL AND DIGNIFIED END TO THE WAR
In a wide-ranging interview with Fox News, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy detailed how Ukraine’s battlefield innovations are influencing defense partnerships worldwide. (Fox News)
«We have, for example, drone interceptors. We have [a] system of electronic warfare and a lot of things. All these jointly work in one system. This is what we have [that] nobody has,» Zelenskyy told Fox News correspondent Matt Finn in Abu Dhabi.
Ukraine is now sharing elements of that system with at least four Persian Gulf nations — the UAE, Qatar, Jordan and Saudi Arabia — as they confront growing threats from Iran’s drone capabilities.
But Zelenskyy emphasized the partnership must be reciprocal. Ukraine continues to face a «big deficit» of critical air defense weapons, particularly PAC-3 Patriot missiles used to intercept ballistic threats.
«We are ready to help Middle East countries with our expertise and with our knowledge, and we hope … that they can help with anti-ballistic missiles,» Zelenskyy said.
Ukraine has already signed 10-year defense agreements with Saudi Arabia and Qatar, with a similar deal with the UAE expected soon, according to the AP.

Zelenskyy also warned that increasing U.S. military focus on the Middle East amid escalating tensions with Iran and the ongoing «Operation Epic Fury» could slow the flow of weapons to Ukraine.
He claimed Russia is already strengthening Iran’s military by sharing drone technology, including Shahed «kamikaze» drones, as well as battlefield tactics developed during the war.
«Russia will share all they know about this war. … They’re already sharing with Iranians,» Zelenskyy said.
While he stopped short of confirming missile transfers, Zelenskyy suggested Moscow has a strategic interest in prolonging instability in the Middle East to divert U.S. attention away from Ukraine.
«This is what they do,» Zelenskyy said.
On the battlefield, Zelenskyy reiterated that Ukraine will not cede territory in the contested Donbas region, arguing it would weaken defenses, damage troop morale and displace tens of thousands of civilians.
«I think their morale will decrease,» Zelenskyy said.
He also urged the Trump administration not to lose sight of Ukraine while addressing Middle East tensions.

«I hope that President Trump … will find a way to end this war with pressure on the Iranian regime, and I hope that also they will not forget about … the war of Russia against Ukraine,» Zelenskyy said.
